Technique

The links below are some of the best ski technique videos I have seen with great verbal descriptions of the concepts we teach in RXCSF Youth Skiing.  Just published by XC Zone, a sport video production company in Canada; they feature many of the Canadian Olympians.

Here is a link to a video that talks about the ways that a ski champion of the future needs to plan for and execute his/her training.

 

Skate Technique by Justin Freeman with videos of changes over the years.

 

Here is a good video from SMS that shows proper DP technique demonstrated by Andy Newell and comparisons to their skiers during a DP Test.  Good visual of proper versus improper technique.
